Part numbers: MGBIC-BX40-D, MGBIC-BX40-U
These two SFP modules are used together to permit a bidirectional GE (Gigabit Ethernet) connection using a single strand of SMF cable and LC connectors up to 40 km. Bidirectional modules must be used in -D and –U pairs.
For a complete listing of hardware compatible with these modules, see the Extreme Optics Compatibility website.
Transmission distances are provided as a nominal guide only. To determine achievable distances, refer to the device's optical specifications and to the specific characteristics of your fiber installation.
